HAHA! You folded! I probably will, but I might have to wait for payday. I've been broke lately and need every penny I can get. Hope it doesn't sell out before the 15th!

I overlapped the images from the scale representations for you guys as something to go by.

Destroyer isn't even standing up straight so....what's it going to be fborecki?

 

[Mjolnir]

Yeah I know. Therefore, my argument is invalid.

This couldn't be any worse!

The $499 price tag is exactly where I don't want it to be. I said earlier before the prices were announced that $500 was my limit and SSC has to go make this 1 dollar under!

Damn you SSC!

Although nicely done, the Destroyer is way too simple a sculpt to justify $500, especially being painted only one color, so that it also has a simple paint job. Chrome paint for the Destroyer and tan for the base. Has there ever been a simpler sculpt made by SS for more money? This should be $299.99 tops, more like $275 because of it's simplicity. I think it's pretty hard to mess up such a simple character. I know the sculptor is outstanding at his work, but it isn't like sculpting a face. The Thor definitely gives you more for your money, like two or three times. However, Chris Helmsworth simply isn't Thor IMO, so I have no more interest in him as Thor than I do in David Hasslehoff as Nick Fury.

I mean, the IM mark VI Legacy piece is the same price and offers so much more.

I'm sure it is. I am thankful I live one state to the East.

You are so right. I'm canceling.

This Destroyer also have light-up features which add to over all cost. I think the $499 price isn't too pricey. That said, I am spent atm and thus no order for me.

Must post on every page.

Can't disagree with anything you stated.

I'm still mad at myself for splurging on the War Machine Maquette that is in the same price range - so as much as I like this Destroyer piece, I'll most likely pass.

The light up feature is nice I agree.

Something about the Destroyer just doesn't do it for me. I can't put my finger on it but there is something about the piece that just doesn't scream "Buy Me!". I love the overall look of Thor, the helmeted head looks a little strange but the unhelmeted is spot on, and how I will probably display it anyway. I have no interest in art prints so I'll be going the AD route so the hunt for the cheapest price begins now.

 

[ecekat]

Ordered but I was a bit pis..Ed off seeing tbd!

 

[ComputerFly]

All these people _____in about the price astounds me..26 inches tall.. Not with his hand up in the air holding a hammer, no, 26 inches tall bent down a bit. This piece is going to be friggin HUUUGE! Using the Legacy Iron Man for a comparison is a JOKE. This piece is SEVEN INCHES (I know a lot of you don't know what that looks like, but trust me...IT'S HUGE lololol ) taller than the tiny little Mark VI (same price), and it features light-up as well. I personally think it's a fair price for what we'll be getting.

I'd like to draw your attention to what $275 bought you from Sideshow 5 years ago:

16" H (406.4mm) x 6.5" W (165.1mm) x 6.5" D

I'm not gonna be setting these guys up in battle so "actual" movie scale isn't much of a bother.

I agree with this statement which is one of the reasons why I didn't order Destroyer. Thor seems to be placed perfectly for a "center square" deal with the MK VI maquette to his left and the upcoming Captain America to his right. That is where I'm going with it.

 

[Barbarian]

Thor and Destroyer look pretty damn cool to me. I could give a rats ass if Destroyer is only 2" taller than Thor. Its not really an issue I don't think. I'm not gonna be setting these guys up in battle so "actual" movie scale isn't much of a bother.

There's no way I could agree more, brother!
